Rating: Summary: A cozy mystery worth cozying up to.... Review: If I only had one book to read on a rainy afternoon, this would be the one. With twins, ghosts, secret passages, and a preternatural teddy bear - this story has something for every lover of mysteries. The atmoshere sucks you into a world where old crumbly mansions house a cast of eccentric characters and tea is served every afternoon despite mayhem and mischief. The story and characters move along well, with touches of humour and romance. It's a great book for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the real world.
Rating: Summary: Refreshing read - it will leave you smiling! Review: If you are a fan of the "creamy bosoms" or "the rotten corpse revealed..." genre then Nancy Atherton's series will be too tame for you. IF, however, you are overwhelmed by the school shootings, drive-by shootings, drugs, earthquakes, and other natural and man-made mayhem then these books are PERFECT! Ms. Atherton's writing is elegant yet humorous, each chapter begins and ends with a hook without relying on blood, sex and gore for suspense. Our entire family has gobbled up the series (and we're lovers of such diverse authors as Patricia Cornwell and Garrison Keillor)! This series is also effective for bridging my 12-year old daughter from "babysitters" to more sophisticated literature. She, too,is hooked. TO: Nancy Atherton Re: MORE BOOKS! Write faster, girlfriend. We love you!
Rating: Summary: Aunt Dimity series Review: If you aren't acquainted with Aunt Dimity, you have a wonderful experience in store for you. Do it now! Don't read the synopsis...just buy the books...all of them...then read and enjoy. They are delightfully unexpected. Both the men and the women in our family love them. We feel that the less you know about them before you read them the better. We only wish there were more of them.
Rating: Summary: Aunt Dimity's Best...So Far! Review: Love the series. Aunt Dimity and the Duke is my favorite thus far. The descriptions of English gardens were breathtaking. Made me feel I was there and also made me want to return for another visit! Nancy makes the characters come to life and you can't help but fall in love with them. I'm anxious for her next book release.
Rating: Summary: Read the Entire Aunt Dimity Series... Review: Nancy Atherton does not center this book around her usual title character, Lori Shepherd - but rather around her English neighbors and best friends. It is a delightful sideroad to travel down. The entire series is simply delightful and a great read.

Rating: Summary: Warm and Fuzzy Reading Review: The tone of voice Atherton uses is so cuddley and comforting that you feel like you are reading an old favorite childhood book. The writting is sweet and sentimental yet keeps an active pace. Totally a great read!
